It was around 9 pm on a Thursday and though we were assured a dry and fresh night, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Dan and I were resting there going over the recent football rankings, at the ready for the seventh fuel drain for the day to arrive. Eventually we had the phone call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had pulled into the Shell petrol garage in Sturmer and put petrol in her diesel Skoda lease car by mistake. She was somewhat distressed by the sounds of it, telling me "I still cannot believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I had didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to be concerned, and that things like this unfortunately can happen. She managed to maneuver the car to a secure space and, seeing as it was only a short distance away from where we were, we could reach the customer rather quickly. The wrong fuel was taken out and she could go home to the hotel she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got fairly drenched, it was all worthwhile to see her drive off relaxed and much less anxious. Yet another job in Essex done well in my opinion!

Below are the top services we offer to our clients.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Essex we have encountered an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where a person has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent due to motorists not being totally sure the right way to work with it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Since AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it's as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

If in case you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it right away. And definitely don't turn over the car - not even to maneuver it off the pump. Assuming you have started the car you will likely need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious issue to deal with in a car - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol will trigger idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with fully, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain as compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both circumstances pretty quickly.

Bear in mind that if ever the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one is going to be totally wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to parking bay we can access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir laying in the back of the garden containing unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and business properties in Essex to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps numerous drums in a storage shed, if we are able to access it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Sturmer (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a comprehensive Essex Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to fill up your car in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at cost) and fill up your car or truck. They can also take care of any of the normal problems which can accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to start, as well as dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Sturmer - Sturmer Wrong Fuel Doctor

I had appreciated a fantastic evening cycling during the weekend and felt pleased with myself the following day as I was on the way to assist a young family who were away in Sturmer. They'd conked out after filling diesel in their Audi, and the car was around half an hour's drive away. I emerged at their position and laughed as I heard to the girl berating her hubby for turning out to be so confused. "Just how could you conceivably find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I wanted to explain that this happens frequently in Essex and that it's truly nothing to be anxious about, even so he yet still had an earful. I felt genuine sympathy for the lad. In any case, I extracted all the wrong fuel, flushed the engine and gave it some appropriate fuel. Watching them drive off I mouthed good bye and wondered what her indoors would tell me if ever I did the same thing... I would under no circumstances hear the end of it!
